Re: [Exist-development] Renaming the "gate"

[Thomas W. <tho...@gm...>]

Evgeny,

There is something that I have learned about the names in English speaking
world. If people can say it and speak about it, then it has much beter
chance of taking off. Before AJAX was named with a simple, short word that
everybody can pronounce then it started to exist in poeple's minds.

I will strongly recommend not to use a name made mainly of
*consonants*because it is
*non-pronounsable* and if people may stay away of it  just for this simple
reason.

On other hand if you have vowels in the name and it is a word that one can
shout then it has much better chances for adoption.

Just think about two developers talking -
"What have you been working on recently?"
"It is a nice thing but I just can't say its name X#$!?&~."
"How can I find it?"
"Easy just search for X#$!?&~. Actually I think it was X#5$!?&~, or was it
X#"£$!?&~ I can't remember..."

I hope this will help.

Thomas
